Any experienced soap makers out there?


I am making soap for the first time. I just finished the first batch about 45 minutes ago. (I know I'm not supposed to bother it for a day, but I HAD to look.) I noticed that it was really "fatty" looking. I dabbed my finger on the top of it, ran my finger under water, smooshed it around a bit, and it didn't lather. Is this how it's supposed to be at this stage, because it hasn't cured yet? Or did I make a bunk batch?
Umm, I have been. I haven't found any result...otherwise I wouldn't have asked the question.

One of the best soap sites on the web is Kathy Miller's soap page. Tons of info on how to tell if you're having problems and how to fix them if you are.
Try the 'troubleshooting' section for now, but check out the rest of the site later.

Description

From the makers of Plink, regular use of Glisten is recommended for a cleaner dishwasher. It works hard to remove built-up soap scum, food stains and discoloration from iron and other water impurities. Simply pour the package contents into the soap well of an empty dishwasher, sprinkling the excess into the bottom of the dishwasher. Then run a light or regular wash cycle (run with no dishes) for cleaning. For heavily stained dishwashers, a second application may be necessary. In some hard water areas surfaces may need to be wiped with clean wet cloth right after using Glisten.

Features

  • Non-toxic citric acid cleaner leaves dishwasher sparkling clean and lemon fresh
  • Removes hard water mineral build-up, stubborn stains, rust, discoloration, and odors
  • Easy to use; pour into soap well and run light or regular wash cycle
  • Recommended for use monthly
  • Keep out of reach of children; do not mix with bleach

Description

A baking stone for home oven use reminiscent of the stone baking ovens of earlier times. Over 30 years ago the Old Stone Oven Company first introduced the baking store for home use and it is still the best. Thicker than other stones available, it has a porosity and heat retention that is perfect for a good crust. The Old Stone Oven Pizza Stone duplicates crispy pizzeria quality pizza - crust and all- in a standard kitchen oven. The Stone can also be used to bake bread, rolls and biscuits giving them a very special texture and quality or as a warming tray to keep waffles, pancakes, fried chicken, etc warm until ready to serve.

Often homemade pizza never tastes the same as a pie from your local pizzeria. However, this baking stone is made of the same firebrick material that lines kilns and blast furnaces and duplicates the results of old stone ovens to produce superior-quality and crispy pizza crust at home with all of your favorite fixings on top. The stone heats evenly and retains heat well so pizzas stay warm for a while after they come out of the oven. The material also withstands thermal shock so uncooked pizzas prepared earlier in the day move from the refrigerator to the oven without producing cracks in the stone. The baking stone has a 16-inch diameter, which is large enough to make a family-sized pie or can also bake rolls, biscuits, or circular-shaped breads. A flat surface area makes it easy to cut and remove slices right from the baking stone. Eight circular stone feet keep the pizza stone uniformly balanced on an oven rack so cheese or toppings won’t slide off. --Cristina Vaamonde

  • Bakes family-sized pizza, breads, rolls, biscuits
  • Firebrick stone duplicates results of old stone ovens
  • Heats evenly for crisp crusts; high heat retention
